Since inventing the DVR years ago, TiVo® has led the way in adding new capabilities and conveniences. Their latest flagship Premiere Elite XL4 shows how far they've come. It combines famously smart recording and viewing options with massive recording capacity. There's enough storage to keep your whole family entertained, and TiVo's easy operation means everyone in the family can actually use it. The generic DVR supplied by your cable company is a relic by comparison. In fact, the Internet-ready Premiere Elite is much more than just a DVR — it's an all-in-one entertainment source.

To record shows, the DVR's programming info must be updated by the TiVo service, which requires a $14.99/month subscription.

Unlimited entertainment in one box

Since inventing the DVR years ago, TiVo® has led the way in adding new capabilities and conveniences. Their latest flagship Premiere Elite XL4 shows how far they've come. It combines famously smart recording and viewing options with massive recording capacity. There's enough storage to keep your whole family entertained, and TiVo's easy operation means everyone in the family can actually use it. The generic DVR supplied by your cable company is a relic by comparison. In fact, the Internet-ready Premiere Elite is much more than just a DVR — it's an all-in-one entertainment source.

Four tuners and two terabytes of recording capacity — no waiting

The TiVo Premiere Elite XL4 can record up to 300 hours of crystal-clear high-def programs, and it provides those addictive DVR conveniences like pause and forward/reverse skip with just a touch of the remote. This is a quad-tuner DVR — you can actually record up to four channels at the same time, while simultaneously watching a previously recorded show or an online video source.

What makes TiVo's DVRs special is their polished, intuitive on-screen menus, and their customizable recording options. For example, the Season Pass™ feature records every new episode of a show without cluttering your queue with reruns. Having TiVo is like having an easy-to-access channel packed with just the stuff you like. These unique capabilities are made possible by TiVo's subscription service, which is required to keep the DVR's programming info updated (Note: this subscription costs $14.99/month). The supplied remote is a cinch to use, and there's also a free TiVo® App available for the iPad® and the iPhone®

Plug into the web to access the world's largest on-demand video store

The Premiere Elite XL4's Ethernet port puts some of the Internet's best streamed content at your fingertips. Just run a cable to your home network, and you can watch movies and TV shows instantly from Netflix®, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus™ and more. Online music is on tap, too, with PANDORA® Internet radio. Want to connect wirelessly? Just add one of TiVo's wireless network adapters. Note: The Premiere Elite XL4 cannot record antenna or satellite TV signals.

Get it for the 4 HD Tuners

Unless your the kind of person who needs to have the top-end model of everything, the reason to get the XL4 is the 4 tuners. Getting the 2TB of storage is a nice side benefit, but it's all about being able to still watch/record when two of the tuners are busy. The additional streaming and downloading features are OK, but there are better solutions for all of them. TiVO needs to expand the HD UI to the rest of the functionality.

Pros:4 HD tuners

Cons:Lack of full HD UI
Other downloading/streaming services only OK

Best DVR Can Be Better

Excellent interface and capabilities. It's huge hard disk allows for the archiving of shows and one can also transfer some programs to one's PC with free software. If the shows are not proprietary, one can then burn to media if desired. Overall a superior product.

Pros:Finally, a third party remote controller that can change the input source for the TV. That means the TiVo controller can replace the TV controller. Can easily convert to .mp4 with Roxio. Successfully tested Roxio conversion to *.iso image and burning to DVD with computer playback.

Cons:TiVo suggestions "on" should NOT be the default setting. Season Pass does not always work as expected. If one selects SNL from an HD channel like 432 and subsequently selects season pass they are brought to a season pass of SNL reruns on non-HD VH1 (Channel 50). Shows that air the same episode more than once a week on the same channel are always recorded when season pass is selected, regardless of 'new' episode setting.

The Best DVR Made, Ever, By Anyone

We have three TiVos, two Premieres, and this Elite-the Elite is the best by a lot. All are hooked to Verizon FIOS and we use cablecards. We love FIOS TV service, but we think that the Verizon set top boxes, software and remotes are so limited, so difficult to use and so clunky that we'd have never switched from DirecTV to FIOS without having these TiVo boxes to translate Verizon's great signal and sound.
FOUR tuners! Count 'em. You can record three different shows and watch another-greatness. You can also overlap shows that run long without clipping. The software, menu systems and remotes are all TiVo, the best and easiest to use of any set top box made-we think of TiVo as the Apple iPad or iPhone of DVRs-same simplicity, functionality and customer support for both companies.
The digital recording system produces a completely flawless recording and playback picture. Sound is perfect, and both sound and picture are recorded bit for bit, without compression. To say "audiophile" and "videophile" quality would be a little understated. Recording capacity is unequaled-more than you could ever watch or archive in your lifetime. And, finally, the interface with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Pandora and other online features is seamless and also "TiVo simple."

recommendations at your fingertips. The Discovery Bar features
recommendations of movies and TV shows that are similar to ones you already

to the TiVo service in order to keep the TV schedule up-to-date and to update
the unit's software. TiVo boxes works best when connected to a home network with a
high-speed Internet connection, but if you don't have that available in your home, you can simply plug an existing phone

splitter to share a phone jack with a regular phone.

Note: It should be noted that the TiVo Premiere Elite, needs a
high-speed Internet connection to download and utilize network & internet
functions.

MoCA: MoCA stands for Multimedia over Coax Alliance and is the
universal standard for home entertainment networking. MoCA allows the TiVo
Premiere Elite to connect through household cable coax wiring to other TiVo
Premiere Elite boxes and get up to 175Mbps throughput for ultra-fast video. It
is a viable alternative when Ethernet or wireless networking isn't available
near your TiVo box or you have multiple MoCA-compatible devices.

products. Your subscription to the TiVo service includes software updates that

Digital Cable Compatible

Cable Connection: The TiVo Premiere Elite features a dedicated
input for cable and connects to your cable service. The TiVo Premiere Elite is
designed to
replace your old cable box or DVR with a more powerful, advanced, and
innovative high definition (HD) DVR system. The TiVo Premiere Elite supports digital
and analog cable signals. The TiVo Premiere Elite plugs directly into your cable
service and replaces your old cable box with a CableCARD you get from your cable company. In
most cases, you can return your old cable box to your cable provider and stop
paying the monthly rental fee. While the TiVo Premiere Elite is fully compatible with
your cable service, it does not replace your cable service; you still need a
cable provider to deliver your cable TV programming.

Note: TiVo does not support satellite service, such as DirecTV and
Dish Network. The TiVo Premiere does support over-the-air programming via
antenna.

CableCARD Decoder: To view your cable company's HD and digital
channels, the TiVo Premiere Elite requires the installation and activation of a single
Multi-stream CableCARD decoder (M-Card). A CableCARD decoder tells the TiVo
Premiere which channels you are authorized to receive, and unscrambles your
cable company's encrypted signal so you can view all the HD and digital cable
channels included in your cable TV subscription package. This card replaces the
need for your cable company's cable box. The CableCARD decoder is inserted into
the rear panel of the TiVo Premiere Elite. After it is inserted, please call your
cable provider to activate and pair the card to the TiVo Premiere Elite. You will need
to provide the card's serial number (found on the back of the card) and host ID
(which will appear on your TV). One M-CARD will let you watch and record two
shows at once.

Note: You must call your cable company to order and schedule the
installation of your CableCARD decoder. Some cable providers allow their
customers to pick up their CableCARD at their local service center and
install it on their own. For the TiVo Premiere Elite, you will need a single
Multi-stream CableCARD decoder (M-Card). Federal law mandates that all major
cable companies provide CableCARDs to their digital cable subscribers. While
some cable companies offer CableCARDs to their subscribers for free, others
may charge a nominal monthly fee, usually between $2-$4 per month. Contact
your provider for details.

channel. To view the channel banner while watching a show, press INFO. The
Channel Banner can be displayed in three different sizes.

make sure your family has access to only those shows you want them to watch.

and television ratings, to lock specific channels, and to prevent viewing of
recorded shows that violate the settings you choose.

age-appropriate channels and recordings are available. Children cannot setup
new recordings or change any settings on the TiVo Premiere Elite.

performance on your HDTV or home theater setup. Essentially, it ensures that the
integrity of your high-definition content won't be compromised as you capture,
store and playback HDTV programs and movies. You'll experience the crisp
details, vivid colors and exceptional audio clarity that is true to the fidelity
of the original broadcast source.

Video Output Formats: TV networks and online video providers
use a variety of formats, and TV equipment receive and display video in a
variety of formats. The TiVo Premiere Elite receives video signal in any of these five
video formats (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i). If you are
using an HDMI cable to connect the TiVo Premiere Elite to your television, the TiVo
Premiere will automatically set the optimal vide output format for your TV.

TV Aspect Ratio: Aspect
ratio refers to the proportions of your TV screen. A standard TV screen ratio is
4:3. A Widescreen TVs are 16:9. Select the type of screen your TV has. Some TVs
automatically changer their display based on the type of signal the receive:
high definition (HD) or standard (SD). if your 4:3 TV has this features, you
probably notice that it adds bars to the top & bottom of an HD picture. If so,
select 4:3 Smart Screen. If your TV does not have this feature, you may notice
that it squeezes an HD picture into the 4:3 shape. If so, select 4:3 Standard
Screen.

Aspect Correction Mode: Aspect correction is applied when the aspect
ratio of the show you are watching does not match the aspect ratio of your TV.
You can choose from the following aspect correction options.

Full Mode: In Full mode, the picture is stretched to fill the TV
screen, which may result in some distortion. Black bars appear at the top &
bottom of the screen and the picture will appear a bit squished.

Panel Mode: In Panel mode, side bars are added to the picture to
fill the screen, preserving the broadcast aspect ratio. This is useful if
you are watching a show broadcast in 4:3 on a 16:9 TV, or vice-versa.

Zoom Mode: In Zoom mode, the picture is stretched without
distortion. The edges of the picture are cropped to fit the TV screen. This
mode is useful if you are watching a show broadcast with letterbox bars or
side bars. Zoom mode crops the letter box bars out of the picture.

Video Smoothing: If you see static on some basic digital cable channels,
use this setting to smooth the video which will
decrease the static and improve the picture on these channels. However, it will
cause images on all analog channels to lose some sharpness.

and digital (optical) audio outputs to connect the unit to your television or AV
receiver.

Digital Audio: The TiVo Premiere Elite features an optical
digital audio output to connect to your home theater system for digital
sound.

can be set to output Dolby Digital or 2-channel PCM.

DVR Functions

Built-in Hard Drive: The TiVo Premiere Elite is equipped with a
2TB (terabyte) hard drive for recording standard definition and high definition
programming from digital cable broadcasts. A small bar at the bottom of the
screen lets you know how much space you have available for new recordings.

Note: Actual recording capacity depends on signal quality and the
type of programming being recorded.

Recording Quality: The TiVo Premiere Elite always records HD and
digital shows using the native video signal it receives.
Each time you setup a standard-definition recording, you have the option to choose
its recording quality (Best, High, Medium, Basic). This setting is available
only before the TiVo Premiere Elite begins recording. One hour of Best quality equals
about four hours of Basic quality, two hours of Medium quality, and 1.5 hours of
High quality.

Auto Record: Up to 30 minutes of the current channel's
broadcast is always being saved, even when you are not recording. The TiVo
Premiere automatically saves up to 30 minutes of live TV, so you can rewind live
TV for up to 30 minutes. When you change channels, the TiVo Premiere Elite clears the
saved portion and starts saving again on the new channel. You need to press
RECORD to record the saved portion as well as the rest of the program.

Quad Recording: The TiVo Premiere Elite can record four
different live TV channels at the same time; one on each of its four tuners. The TiVo Premiere Elite's
quad tuners
even let you record
fours shows at once while watching a fifth show online.

Recording Features: You can record shows using the TiVo Premiere Elite with
exclusive TiVo features such as TiVo Suggestions, Season Pass recordings, and WishList recordings.

TiVo Suggestions: TiVo
Suggestion uses a Thumps Up/Thump Down ratings systems to create a list of
shows you might like. The more show you rate over time, the better TiVo
Suggestion will get at finding interesting shows for you. When the TiVo
Premiere has available space, it automatically records TiVo Suggestion
content. TiVo Suggestions never replace shows you record, or prevent your
shows from being recorded. TiVo Suggestion are always the first shows
deleted to make room for your recording.

Season Pass Recordings: A Season Pass recording automatically
records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel (even if
the day or time changes). When you set up a Season Pass recording, you can
choose how many episodes to keep and how long to keep them. Season Pass
recordings are prioritized by the order in which you set them up - the first
has highest priority, and so on.

WishList Recordings: A WishList search finds shows that match
your search criteria on any channel you receive and it keeps on searching
for as long as you keep the WishList search activated. You can search for
something specific by creating a WishList search with multiple criteria (for
example - Actor name & movie category). You can even use WishList searches
to find something very specific (for example - a specific sports team). You can set a WishList search to
auto-record, and it will record every show it finds, on any channel you
receive.

Note: If the TiVo Service finds any conflicts in scheduling
upcoming episodes of the Season Pass or WishList recording, you will be
asked to choose whether you want to keep the previously scheduled recording
or record the new show instead.

Overlap Protection: Being able to record four programs at the same time doesn't eliminate all possible
recording conflicts. The Overlap Protection feature gives you additional options
for dealing with recording conflicts when they occur. With Overlap Protection,
the TiVo Premiere Elite simply clips the lower priority recording by just enough
minutes to allow both programs to record. Overlap Protection works by
determining the priority of each program scheduled to record. For repeat
recordings, it use the Season Pass manager to learn which programs have higher
or lower priorities. Once-time recordings are not listed on the Season Pass
manager; these individual recording that you schedule receive the highest
priority. The most recent individual recording that you requested always has the
highest priority (TiVo Suggestions always have the lowest priority).

Note: If Overlap
Protection is turned off, when four shows on the same tuner overlap by a few
minutes, the lower priority recording is cancelled.

Extending Live Recordings:
Live events (like sporting events & awards shows) often run pas their scheduled
time. When the Extend Life Recordings setting is turned on, the TiVo Premiere Elite
will remind you to add extra time when you set up a recording of a live event.

Managing Recordings: The
TiVo Premiere Elite offers various ways to keep track of and manage your recordings.
The unit's To Do List shows all your scheduled recordings and lets you change
recording options or cancel recordings. You will see a list of all shows
schedule to record in the next two weeks with available recording options. You
can use the unit's View Recording History to check on a particular show's
recording status.

Recording Options: The
unit's Recording Options let you customize each recording, so you always get the
results you want. You can set recording options when you first schedule a
recording, or by selecting a show from the To Do list or the Season Pass
manager.

Time & Channel: You
can choose the time and channel on which to record the show when more than
one option is available.

Channel: You can
choose the channel on which to record the show, when more than one channel
is available (this option is only for a repeating recording like a Season
Pass).

Keep at Most: You can
set the maximum number of episodes to be saved (this option is only for a
repeating recording like a Season Pass).

Record: You can choose
to skip reruns and only record first-run episodes (this option is only for a
repeating recording like a Season Pass).

Keep Until: Choose how
long to keep a show (or each episode of a repeating recording). "Space
Needed" is the default setting, or choose "Until I Delete" and the TiVo
Premiere won't delete an episode to record something new.

Overtime Scheduler:
The following two settings are especially helpful for sports fans, but also
useful for award shows, live events, or if the network tends to broadcast
your favorite show a little off its scheduled start time.

Start Recording:
Start recording up to ten minutes before a show is scheduled to begin
(this option is only available before recording starts).

Stop Recording:
Set a recording to continue for a few minutes or up to three hours after
its scheduled to end. You can change this setting when you set up the
recording, or while the recording is in progress.

My Shows: All the shows recorded by the TiVo Premiere Elite, including video
podcasts and downloaded shows, appear on the My Shows screen. You can view your
recorded content either alphabetically or by date recorded. Highlight any title
in the My Shows menu (even a show that's still recording) and press Play to
start the show from the beginning, or to resume playing from where you left off.
Once you have watched a show in its entirety, the show's title on the My Shows
screen turns from white to blue.

Groups: When the Groups functions is activated, recorded shows are
organized into folders. If you have recorded several episodes of the same show,
they can all be collect into a group. When you have shows grouped, you can
highlight the group name and play all of the shows in the group in sequence,
beginning with the oldest.

Control Live/Recorded TV: Control live or recorded TV with pause, rewind (3
speeds), fast-forward (3 speeds), slow-motion, instant replay, and 30-second scan.

button on the remote control.
